Bittersweet

Finishing a book is bittersweet. You spend days getting to know the characters. Learning their nuances, their faults, their loves, their lives. They become your friends, acquaintances, enemies. And after the story ends, you miss them. Eventually you realise they aren’t a part of your world, you were just briefly visiting theirs.” ~Unknown

Memories, even bittersweet ones, are better than nothing. ~Jennifer Armentrout

It’s kind of bittersweet. The human spirit is not measured by the size of the act, but by the size of the heart. ~Yakov Smirnoff

Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bittersweet. Alive.” ― Joanne Harris, Chocolat

I adore the word bittersweet. I guess it because it describes so many moments in my life. Some days, I am ambivalent about that fact but even the bitter parts can taste the sweetest eventually.

These are so gorgeous. They represent the feeling and color bittersweet quite well. And the quotes you’ve chosen are wonderful. I’m especially drawn to your second image. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is my granddaughter. She’s turning seven this month but many of her toddler activities were bittersweet…tears and laughter almost simultaneously. I had to include the photo…glad it has a wee bit of bittersweet around the collar and sleeves. 😉
